Technology Planning

I don't have a real grasp of technology planning right now. I have some ideas, however I am still bound by the current educational system and trying to figure out how we might go about the transformation from our current system to one that will be the best possible learning environment for students. I keep thinking of the "convincing" and the amount of learning and training it will take to make the transformation. I think if I can remove myself from the current system and start from scratch, that may be the best and then try to work towards a transformation process.

Maybe I am looking at this wrong? Someone in my last class quoted W. Edward Eming, â€?It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.â€? Maybe the current students will figure it out and take over the jobs of everyone else once they have gradutated from high school?

Federal Technology Plans

In a utopian world, the Federal Technology Plans would definitely not be published during the final year of a presidency. I would think that this would be a good platform on which to run a campaign. The politicians seem to have plans for this that and the other thing, why not put some of these plans into writing prior to the election and then during the years in office the politicians can work to make their plans better.
Without a change in the current system, we are just chasing our tails and not getting anywhere.
